Hi, my Chevrolet cruze is running bad idle and bad gas miliage, could it be MAF sensor or bad injector? Because when i unplug the Maf sensor the engine is not turning off and still same ritym of bad idle
I've been chasing poor fuel economy on my bmw for a while. I even did a intake manifold cleaning myself, it was gunked up bad, made no difference. I forgot to plug my maf back in when going for a test drive. Lo and behold nothing changed with it unplugged, no CEL either. Turns out I've been driving with a broken maf sensor for months
Not always the case especially with older cars. Still runs when unplugged doesn’t mean it’s faulty. Could be a vacuum leak somewhere & you think it’s a bad maf
@@collinsofoegbu3699 Light an incense or something and put it next to the intake tubes while the car is running. If you see the smoke clearly getting sucked into a certain area besides the front entry then there is a leak.
It doesnt necessarily mean its good. Unplugging it and seeing if it runs better is just a good way to be sure if it is bad or not working properly because when unplugged the ecu will run the engine base on defult values. On some vehicles, it just wont run.. just because it still runs while unplugged doesn't always mean that its a bad maf sensor

My car has trouble turning over sometimes. But if i give it a little gas it starts up. Sometimes it revs itself up to 3k rpm. I checked my fuel pump relay and was thinking it could be a MAF sensor. Wondering what your opinion is, hoping i dont have to replace the fuel pump.
Hello, if you are mechnnically inclined, check the full preassure to the rail first , if low to no pressure the issue lies outside of the engine such as pump or filter. Please consider subscribing to my TH-cam Channel for free if you haven't already to show your support.
My boy, you have a carbureted engine system, of course its gonna take time to prime the engine. And when it revs itself up to 3k rpm, that means it’s idling and trying to warm itself up, so let it warm up.
It should , but remember BMW maf sensors are very sensitive, I would rather you plug in a scan tool than do this as BMWs are very touchy . I own an E60 and a small unplug like that can make the car feel different. Please consider subscribing to my TH-cam Channel for free if you haven't already
You are most welcome, I would say to just use it as a guide first . What model and year of vehicle? Next step would be to get the car scanned . Autoparts stores do this for a small cost . See what codes get returned . You also need to see the symptoms and if you have check engine on .
@jamshaid20091 It could be MAF but modern ECUs have a way of limiting the RPM to prevent damage , so the issue could be bigger or minor. I would highly suggest a full scan be done on the car to see what codes return . This isn't a car you want to throw parts at - its too lovely but complex . Let me know how you go.

@@DocMackGarage mine is a Honda CR-V K24z. Intake manifold is on the front, exhaust on the back. Nothing aftermarket. Everything started after a head gasket job.

Maybe I did hit something. I do have p0355 and p0103 codes. No vacuum leak so far.
@@DocMackGarage I did today the manual service procedure recommended. Check for continuity, and a jumper between the two main wires. Conclusion: replace the sensor. Maf reading was apparently ok.

I tried it on my infiniti fx35 V6 2007 when I unplug the socket from MAF sensor but the engine doesn’t shut off but the engine is like running rough and the rpm goes up and down. Do you it’s MAP sensor? Thanks!
Let me get this right. 1.) unplug maf sensor, car shuts off means good maf sensor. 2.) unplug maf sensor, car keeps running means bad maf sensor. Now my question is, wouldn’t the car not start even if the maf sensor was plugged in to a faulty maf sensor. Because the maf sensor is already busted so unplugging or leaving it plugged in makes no difference.
The car can still start with a bad MAF but it will run rough. If the vehicle has a MAP then it will still run. Some cars have just MAF and some MAF and MAP.

@omarzukoflores6637 This is because the MAF can't measure how much air needs to be aspired by the engine, and could cause the vechile to run rich , the MAF then shuts the engine off because the readings are off. MAP is manifold side and MAF is before the throttle body
@omarzukoflores6637 You are welcome, please consider subscribing to my TH-cam Channel for free if you haven't already. The first thing I would look at is why you unplugged the MAP to start off with , it might not necessarily be a bad MAF just yet. Did the vehicle have rough running issues ?

This will do it because your vehicle has parameters etc, if you disconnect the battery for 15 mins and reconnect it , it will recover. Needs to be on idle for 10 mins in an open area before driving

My toyota yaris when shift from first gear to second when accelerate it feels like someone hits you behind ,in third to forth the same , i wished it was maf sensor , it is 2009 sedan model
This is crazy and untrue. Fords stay cranked. If you think it's a bad mass air flow sensor aka maf map mass. Or whatever you wanna call it, just remove the old one and put on a new one. Remove battery terminals for 5 to 10 mins so it will reset. Then put cables back on and crank it up and let it idle for about 10 mins. On other videos it says do this. But I don't think it's that important and is necessary. If so please explain. And tell me if it's too late for me to unplug the terminals and than after 15 mins replace them. Will my new sensor still be good? Since I didn't take the cables off and than put them back on so it could reset the sensor? It's for a Ford Ranger 2006 year , 3.0. ? Anyone? Will my close to new sensor still work properly or have I damaged it since I did not take off the terminals when I replaced my sensor! It's only been two days. August 16th 2023.

@@DocMackGarage After I plug it back and start the engine, I got TrackOff and VSC and Check engine light. Get my car scan and they said it's about MAF air flow. They just clear the check light.
@jorgealvarez1690 That is a good question, it is most likely electrical component that is bad, but yes best to try to clean it. I have a specific video for that. Would you like the link ?
I don’t think this is done correctly. It’s not unplugging it from the connector. It’s unplugging it from the air intake pipe with the connector still plugged into the sensor. If the engine stalls the sensor is working cos it is detecting no air flow. What you are doing is you disconnect it from the power and feedback to the ecu, how could the sensor possibly work? Duh.
What I am trying to do is to establish if the MAF was working to start off with. If you unplug it then you can check if the engine stops, if it does then the sensor was having communication and normal resistance to start off with. It isn't a solution, it is a basic test for those who don't have a scan tool. I know the MAP can play a part in the result
I would say best to start off with checking ignition coils , injectors and Plugs if you are getting it at that speed. Get it scanned if you get P0301 to P030* based on Cylinders then it's Plugs, coils or injectors . Please Subscribe to my TH-cam Channel for free if you haven't already.

My car has trouble turning over sometimes. But if i give it a little gas it starts up. Sometimes it revs itself up to 3k rpm. I checked my fuel pump relay and was thinking it could be a MAF sensor. Wondering what your opinion is, hoping i dont have to replace the fuel pump.
Hello, if you are mechnnically inclined, check the full preassure to the rail first , if low to no pressure the issue lies outside of the engine such as pump or filter. Please consider subscribing to my TH-cam Channel for free if you haven't already to show your support.
My boy, you have a carbureted engine system, of course its gonna take time to prime the engine. And when it revs itself up to 3k rpm, that means it’s idling and trying to warm itself up, so let it warm up.

It should , but remember BMW maf sensors are very sensitive, I would rather you plug in a scan tool than do this as BMWs are very touchy . I own an E60 and a small unplug like that can make the car feel different. Please consider subscribing to my TH-cam Channel for free if you haven't already

@jamshaid20091 It could be MAF but modern ECUs have a way of limiting the RPM to prevent damage , so the issue could be bigger or minor.

Does yours have two intakes or just the one?
Just 1 intake

@@TalyoOroc Depends on the car, some cars have MAP
Let me get this right.
1.) unplug maf sensor, car shuts off means good maf sensor.
2.) unplug maf sensor, car keeps running means bad maf sensor.
Now my question is, wouldn’t the car not start even if the maf sensor was plugged in to a faulty maf sensor. Because the maf sensor is already busted so unplugging or leaving it plugged in makes no difference.
The car can still start with a bad MAF but it will run rough. If the vehicle has a MAP then it will still run. Some cars have just MAF and some MAF and MAP.
@@DocMackGarage ahh ok makes sense, thanks for clearing that up. So if it has a MAP, that should also be checked out right?

This is crazy and untrue. Fords stay cranked. If you think it's a bad mass air flow sensor aka maf map mass. Or whatever you wanna call it, just remove the old one and put on a new one. Remove battery terminals for 5 to 10 mins so it will reset. Then put cables back on and crank it up and let it idle for about 10 mins. On other videos it says do this. But I don't think it's that important and is necessary. If so please explain. And tell me if it's too late for me to unplug the terminals and than after 15 mins replace them. Will my new sensor still be good? Since I didn't take the cables off and than put them back on so it could reset the sensor? It's for a Ford Ranger 2006 year , 3.0. ? Anyone?

Why not try to clean it first
@jorgealvarez1690 That is a good question, it is most likely electrical component that is bad, but yes best to try to clean it. I have a specific video for that. Would you like the link ?
I don’t think this is done correctly. It’s not unplugging it from the connector. It’s unplugging it from the air intake pipe with the connector still plugged into the sensor. If the engine stalls the sensor is working cos it is detecting no air flow. What you are doing is you disconnect it from the power and feedback to the ecu, how could the sensor possibly work? Duh.
What I am trying to do is to establish if the MAF was working to start off with. If you unplug it then you can check if the engine stops, if it does then the sensor was having communication and normal resistance to start off with. It isn't a solution, it is a basic test for those who don't have a scan tool. I know the MAP can play a part in the result
Mines was unplug and it didnt want to start
The engine turned off because you introduced an open in the circuit. It would do that with any sensor.
@@atomicshift3642 This is because the car does not have a MAP.
My MAF is fine, but I think my MAP is the issue. I own a 2008 Xlt triton f-50, where tf is my map at I can’t find it, or am I blind?
You’ll only have one or the other, if that helps
